In their own words!

It's in the interest of the public that not just the fawning press covers up what Obama's really about. He never says anything, although he says nothing beautifully. It's the quantity as well. The few just reported. He's gotten a third more, more than a third - more coverage than McCain.

But the question is, is that if the three major networks in this country are going to send their three rock star anchors to go cover Barack Obama, isn't it fair that they send them with John McCain goes there?
If the New York Times is going to publish an op-ed by Barack Obama, shouldn't they publish John McCain's rebuttal a week later and not reject it?
(Snip)
But, Mary, this is basic fundamental fairness to me. You know if the three major networks - if they're going to send Katie Couric and Charles Gibson and Brian Williams, they ought to send them when John McCain goes. And that, to me, is as much evidence as we need about unfair coverage and that does influence the American people. It almost seems like a campaign contribution.

"My prediction is that the coverage of Obama on this trip will be oriented toward countering the notion he has no idea what he is talking about on foreign policy and defense issues and instead will prop him up as a qualified statesman," Limbaugh told The Associated Press. "McCain, on the other hand, is a known quantity on these issues and his position does not excite nor fit the mainstream media's narrative on Iraq and Afghanistan, so they simply ignore it and him."

Hmmmm.... Sounds like someone is advocating the return of the "Fairness Doctrine!"
